Lives in Bangalore

Both IIT BHU and BITS Pilani have their strengths and what career you wish to pursue will decide which of the two will be a better option for you.

If students get the same branch at both institutions, they mostly end up choosing IIT BHU. However, most people are offered a better branch at BITS Pilani (main campus) than IIT BHU.

Here are the different parameters for a comparison between the two-

  • Coding Culture and Tech Jobs- Similar tech companies visit BITS Pilani and IIT BHU for placements. In terms of ACM ICPC and GSOC performance though, IIT BHU is ahead of BITS Pilani
  • Non-Tech Jobs- Similar companies visit the campus for placements. However, BITS Pilani has an edge over IIT BHU.
  • Core Jobs- Here IIT BHU gets the advantage of its IIT tag. Supply chain companies visit the IITs in a larger number.
  • Startup Culture- BITS Pilani students have created great startups over time. The richest Indian-American is an IIT-BHU alumnus, he founded four highly successful startups.
  • Higher education- The alumni of IIT BHU and BITS Pilani pursue their masters in top universities in the USA. US universities give opportunities to IITians, and BITS students get the chance because of a huge alumni base with successful alumni in the research field.
  • Location and campus- Varanasi is a tier 2, whereas, Pilani is a tier 3 city. In comparison to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, life in them is a lot different. Inside the campus, life at both is very similar.
  • Fees- The course fees at BITS Pilani are much higher because it is a private university.

Both institutions are great in every aspect. However, one has a slight advantage over the other in the different aspects as discussed above. No matter whether you choose BITS Pilani or IIT BHU, you are sure to learn a lot and get selected for well-paying jobs. You must work hard to achieve your goals.

CSE from IIT BHU (2020)

Though the core-pharma jobs are scarce, the life-science sector is an ever-growing sector. It is one of the most vibrant and technical industries and with hard work you will be surely paid off. For example, Reckitt Benckiser, a top life-science based MNC offered a package of 16 LPA. However, it only recruited two students. Top recruiters of Pharmaceutical Engineering students at IIT BHU in the core sector include Dr. Reddy’s, Zydus, Matrix laboratories, Mylan, Sun-Pharma, etc. whereas non-core include Sony, IBM, Cognizant, TCS, Accenture, Wipro, Musigma, Evaluserve and many more. Alumni of the department are placed in U.S, Malaysia, U.K, and other countries and extend extensive support to the students. Most students bag lucrative internships and pre-placement offers. IIT-BHU has a magnanimous training and placement cell which is responsible for conducting all placement related activities. Students are provided end to end support from aptitude preparations, mock interviews, G.D preparations, ppts to final placements. You can get a package of 4.5-5 LPA in core placements while core packages can go as high as 14-15 LPA.

Is the content taught in CSE in IIT Bombay tougher than that taught in IIT BHU?

SS
Samita Saha Posted On : August 14th, 2020
B.Tech CSE from IIT Bombay (2020)

CSE has been at the top and has become the branch that has ruled over core branches for more than a decade now. Even though CSE course works are given specific modifications by each college separately, though the major outline of the course work is still quite similar.

IIT Bombay has explicitly designed the course for CSE to provide students more in-depth knowledge about algorithms by introducing subjects such as Discrete Structures, Data Analysis and Interpretation, and Introduction to Electrical and Electronics Circuits. These subjects are mainly introduced to help students develop skill sets required to understand how a machine works and to give a deeper understanding of how to analyze data and structure. These particular subjects are introduced prior to Coding so that it would enhance their understanding which directly relates to a better understanding of Algorithms.

Whereas the course works of IIT BHU involve subjects such as Probability and Statistics, Engineering Mechanics, and Discrete Math. Though, these subjects are important but not as challenging as proposed by IIT-Bombay. Subjects such as Algorithms, Operating Systems and Artificial Intelligence are introduced by IIT BHU in the 4th Semester, and in comparison to IIT-B, it can be said that CSE course work of IIT BHU provides students a slow start.
